Gorgeous Piano Sound -- and Much More -- at an Unbeatable Price

There's only one problem with the Casio PX-350 Privia Digital Piano: next to this lightweight, 25-pound professional stage piano, that $8,000 uber-workstation you've had your eye on might not look as good. With 250 supremely usable tones, the PX-350 offers far more than portability for a great price. It's a deserving heir to the Privia line, and a proud addition to your gigging arsenal.

Privia Piano Sounds, Emphasis On Piano

When you see the name "Privia," you know something special is in store. The PX-350's incarnation of Casio's sound engine -- called the Acoustic and intelligent Resonator (AiR) -- features the most impressive realism yet, rivaling the sounds of keyboards costing thousands of dollars more. The AiR uses three times the memory of the Privia's previous generation, resulting in an acoustic piano sound with the spatial depth and harmonic complexity of a true concert grand piano. The PX-350 adds sympathetic string resonance -- the sound of un-played, un-dampened strings reverberating sympathetically with played notes -- for a reconstructed piano tone that's far more than an imitation.

The 128 notes of polyphony ensure there's never a dropped tone, so feel free to play with as much simplicity or complexity as your gig demands. The expressiveness of the PX-350's sound is matched beautifully by its 88-key, Tri-Sensor, Scaled Hammer-Action keyboard, with keys that feel and play like a real acoustic grand piano's. They translate every nuance of your playing into dynamic, responsive, musical Privia tones. All of the keyboard's realistic tones are reproduced in full, detailed fidelity thanks to the built-in twin 8-watt speakers.

Pro Features for Band and Solo Gigs

To be a worthy gigging instrument, a digital stage piano needs to do more than deliver a stunning piano sound. That's why the PX-350 is loaded with 250 different tones, including premium organs, electric pianos, orchestral samples, and an extensive selection of world percussion. A smooth pitch wheel controller adds to the playability of instruments like the harmonica and guitar. And as you'd expect from a pro-level instrument, you can split sounds across the keyboard for playing multiple parts simultaneously, or layer them to create rich polyphonic textures. Play a walking acoustic bass line with your left hand, and chords or lead flourishes with your right. And connect your PX-350 to the venue's sound system via its 1/4" outputs -- or use its 5-pin or USB MIDI I/O to connect it to external MIDI modules.

17-Track Recording for Composition and Songwriting

The Privia PX-350's usefulness doesn't end at live performance. It makes an invaluable tool for the budding songwriter or composer, thanks to its 17-track sequencer and ability to save MIDI files on USB storage, plus CD-quality WAV audio recording capabilities. The keyboard comes pre-loaded with 180 backing rhythms and intelligent accompaniment phrases, as if you brought your own supporting players with you. You can create pop tunes, classically-inspired movements, or soundtrack scores, and then save the MIDI files to your USB drive so you can share them with bandmates, clients, or teachers, or upload them to your computer for advanced production. MIDI sharing works the other way around, too. Download MIDI files to your USB storage and play them back. It's a great way to pick apart a MIDI composition that you find online.

Casio PX 350 Privia Digital Stage Piano

The Casio PX-350 represents a significant step in the continuing evolution of the Privia digital piano line. A combination of updated keyboard action and a more powerful sound engine provide a level of detail, nuance and expression for a superior grand piano experience in the lightweight and stylish design that the Casio Privia line is known for.

Piano Sound

The award-winning grand piano sound in the Privia line has been dramatically improved. The PX-350 utilizes more than three times the memory of the previous generation for a more natural piano tone. In addition, Casio's proprietary sound source "AiR" (Acoustic and intelligent Resonator) provides unmatched realism and detail. This engine provides seamless dynamics for a remarkably expressive and powerful performance. For further realism, a Damper Resonance simulator provides the rich sound of the strings when the sustain pedal is used.

Key Action

The PX-350 also features a redesigned 88-note Tri-sensor scaled hammer action keyboard. The updated action features simulated Ebony and Ivory textured keys for a incredible feel and its three sensors capture the dynamics of a performance with unparalleled speed and accuracy. To further enhance the experience, the action and sound engine take into consideration the speed at which different sized hammers move inside an acoustic grand relative to the velocity the keys are pressed. This timing nuance provides the ultimate key to sound experience.

Powerful Features

The PX-350 has a total of 250 instrument tones built in. Strings, organs, electric pianos, brass, drums, bass and more -- and with the PX-350's registration capability, you can store your favorite splits and layers for live performance use. The PX-350 also has 180 drum patterns with full auto accompaniment and a 17 track recorder for composing your own songs. Ready for the stage or studio, the PX-350 has 1/4" audio outputs so you can easily connect the PX-350 to recording and sound reinforcement equipment.

The optional CS-67 puts the PX-350 at the proper height but can easily be removed so you can take the 25 pound digital piano to the gig. The optional SP-33 pedal system provides the same 3-pedal functionality as a grand piano.

"AWESOME !!!"

Overall:
Awesome! It is perhaps the best word to describe the new Casio Privia PX 350.
Having researched many hours and having read countless reviews I decided to buy this fantastic Digital Stage Piano. I was right! The most amazing is the realism and the hammer action of the piano, particularly the Grand Piano , in my opinion has better pianos than the Roland RD700NX , Kurzweil SP4-8 or even Nord pianos !!!!
The design is minimalist ,his intuitive banking system is perfectly friendly to use. Casio engineers did amazing work to emulate the hammer action of the keys very very close to a real acoustic Grand Piano.
If you are looking primarily a quality piano as his first priority then the Casio Privia PX 350 is the best choice in the price range below $ 1,500. The sound of the instrument is really appreciated in all its dimensions when it connects to the headphone, mixer or amplifier, as built-in speakers do not have enough output.
It is important to clarify that the Casio Privia PX 350 is not a Digital Arranger, despite having 250 tones and a 17-track sequencer that will be of great use to translate good ideas of all the music you want to create and play.
Bottle line for the price it has no rival , you don't need to be a scientist to know is good , just listen to believe
PD : ZZOUNS GREAT JOB , YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

"You are getting the real deal when you purchase this instrument"

Sound:
The Casio PX-350 relies on both the Tri-Sensor Scaled Hammer Keyboard and the AiR which means acoustic & intelligent resonator. These to features combined produce an unprecedented sound and feel that wasn’t seen before in a keyboard that can be purchased less than 1k. All of the piano sounds are great, but some of the other 250 tones are hit or miss. The beauty of having Midi or USB Midi is you get pretty much unlimited amount of tones. As stated earlier the on-board speakers sound great as long as you stay under the max volume (the highest I go is about ¾ the way) then you lose a bit of dynamics and in some cases may experience speaker popping. Audio recorded to an USB Flash drive sounds amazing. It will produce a Wav file, but I noticed that the volume is tad on the low side so I suggest normalizing it using an Audio application such as Audacity. Audio through a PA or amps sound great as well.
Feature:
There are so many features on this digital piano that makes it way more valuable than it is priced.
Ease of Use:
Overall it is fairly easy to use...
Quality:
The Casio PX-350 is built for the traveling performer, it is light weight and easy to travel with. The built in speakers are sufficient for playing in small to medium sized room without the need for amplification. I congratulate Casio for making it look and feel less like a toy, but I guess that goes for all of their Privia line instruments. I love that they put a Standard USB port on the front of the Keyboard that will allow you to plug in an External Hard Drive or a flash drive to record audio to in either WAV or MIDI format. I also found this port to be useful for charging devices like my tablet or phone or power them while I'm lead sheet reading. It is also very useful for plugging in USB lights and fans. On the downside I don’t really like that they placed the headphone jacks on the back of the instrument. The front or even the side would have been more practical if you ask me. I have also noticed that over time the keys seem to make more noise than when I first got it especially my F# 1 key…
The Wow Factor:
This is a awesome Digital Piano and i highly recommend it.

Overall:
There are many digital pianos less than 1K but not many are as feature packed as the Casio Privia PX-350. Are there ones with more features? Yes, but in end they are seriously lacking in other areas. You are getting the real deal when you purchase this instrument. The Sound it produces is very dynamic and expressive, that is rare to find in digital pianos less than 1k. The synthetic Ebony and Ivory feel is unheard of in digital pianos under $2500. Normally Casio is playing catch up in the digital piano game but as of late they have been a step ahead of the game and raising the bar enough to make it competitors nervous. I’m Curious to see how Yamaha will answer to this. Their last Digital piano in this class was the Yamaha P155 which is still a beast in its own right but it is starting to look a bit dated.
